MOST NEW MARINES at the San Diego recruit depot arrive by commercial plane at an adjacent commercial airfield. That plane ride is the last thing most of them remember about civilian life before the shock of boot camp sets in. After a hard day, one recruit, watching a plane depart, commented forlornly, "There it goes, back to the United States."
